Arcane Strategies Case Studies

Fitness Company Custom Web Development Case Study

Working within a tight timeline (and budget), Arcane delivers fitness company custom web development for Rumble Boxing.

Revolutionary fitness franchise, Rumble Boxing http://www.doyourumble.com, is an ecommerce development client with Arcane Strategies. The company is the brain child of franchise and fitness leaders, with the hardware to prove it.  Founded in NYC in 2016, Rumble’s initial registration and investment round required a high demand marketing campaign with an extremely aggressive timeline and a shoestring startup budget.  That’s where Arcane Strategies entered. The MVP shopify project met the specs of their styleguide and the demands of an aggressive marketing campaign.

In phase 2 of this fitness company custom web development project, Arcane Strategies completed the frontend bootstrap development and backend ERP integration with industry software provider, ZingFit, on a Laravel framework. In addition to collaborative meetings with the provider, Arcane has maintained daily communications with all parties and has continued fast turnarounds for this startup’s aggressive schedule.

Alongside website development, Arcane has regularly developed and supported operations software to support business intelligence analytics, automated administrative workflows, and automated reengagement methods using technologies like PhantomJs and Braze.

In 2018, Arcane created an OAuth2 API with full functional data exchange in order to support the build of an iOS application and followed that in 2019 with a full es6 redesign integration.

Today, they boast a 9 figure valuation with more than a dozen locations nationwide and more than 200k customers.

Financial Software Custom Web Services: Winklevoss Technologies

Arcane offers financial software custom web services for a high-profile client…

Finance Forecasting Application

Winklevoss Technologies http://www.winklevoss.com/ is a development client for financial software custom web services. The company is a leading software provider for retirement plan financing and forecasting. After contracting a service for their website rebuild on WordPress, several programming flaws remained. Winklevoss came to Arcane to assist in debugging as well as building and maintaining their hosting environment. The project requires stability and security considerations, given their high profile name but while cost-effective for a non-business-critical presence.

Following this engagement, Arcane Strategies was contracted to build a web and mobile application on ReactJs which interfaces with their hosted ProvalPs software’s API. This appliation allows actuaries to provide pension plan history and forecasting to their customers within a light-weight graphical interface. Their flagship product, ProVal, is the market leader in North America, boasting users in 30 countries from within 250+ client accounts.

Manufacturing Custom Web Development Case Study

Arcane solves form conversions, server upgrades and more through manufacturing custom web development…

Marantec America is an international leader in garage door equipment with a website built on Typo3.  As a platform with a very small community, Typo3 support is hard to come by, so when Marantec needed to convert its digital banking forms to PDF’s, to meet banking regulations, there were few resources available to fit their needs.  To make matters more difficult, the CMS and supporting server were 8 years outdated, requiring 2 major step-wise upgrades, simply to meet the needs of a modern development environment.

Fortunately, Arcane Strategies was able to help with both matters.  With two step-wise upgrades, a server migration and upgrade, and 20+ plugin upgrades, the MarantecAmerica.com site was able to be fully supported on a stable development, staging, and production environment.  From that point on in this manufacturing custom web development project, Arcane was able to leverage Typo3’s niche syntax (phtml and typoscript) to handle PDF outputs for both of Marantec’s banking forms.

Ice Cream Parlor Custom Web Services: A Case Study

In this ice cream parlor custom web services case study, Arcane is brought in as consultant to lay the groundwork for updates to a beloved local brand’s website…

Leopold’s Ice Cream is a staple of Savannah’s downtown and as a cultural icon, branding and messaging remains an important factor in their identity. As a growing brand shipping nation-wide with multiple brick and mortar locations, demonstrating that message meant considering a redesign in 2019 but more critically, an immediate need to upgrade their 3-year-old technology to meet their operations needs. Arcane Strategies recommended an agile based approach, performing a full site and stack audit to identify all necessary upgrades for this ice cream parlor custom web services project. The resulting findings meant a budget-friendly upgrade procedure that allowed Leopold’s to salvage their existing site and create a project plan that was sensitive to their priorities and need for greater budgetary control.

Law Firm Custom Web Services: Case Study

With an emphasis on functionality and budget, Arcane delivers law firm custom web services for Moses and Singer…

As a legal eagle of NYC, Moses and Singer has a fresh approach in its dealings with both clientele and employee relations. Prior to this 2019 law firm custom web services project, the firm had set out to make their culture reflective in internal operations with an employee forward intranet. Having requested a WordPress site with seamless registration, login, and multi-tiered editorial controls, Arcane Strategies proposed a theme-based build, offering speed of development with a budgetary emphasis on functionality. The result was a WordPress website equipped with Active Directory LDAP integration to control roles and permissions as well as an employee directory with personally tailored profiles. The intranet is further protected with local hosting and restricted to network access.
